Marine X

Just looked at the Homecoming Wiki again, not listed on the Hero Defeat Badges Page, if there is a Page Separately for them that's great, but they still need added to the Overview at some point. Visionary is, the other 2 are not.

Good morning. Even though I live in Ohio/USA, I play on Reunion. I started there when it was still Halcyon and hadn't been spun off as the European Server. I have also found that it can be a challenge to participate in group activities during the times I have time to play. I have a few Characters on other servers but have really made Reunion my home. Hami Raids and MSRs are consistently ran on weekends and I do those when I can, but iTrials have been something I haven't had much luck joining. I agree with you on your request, If the bulk of the PVP community is not there anymore then the title should be removed as it is not accurate. Reunion may be the European Server ( and is in Germany ) but a lot of people I chat with are not in Europe either.

I used the PI Safeguard which has Malta to complete the Sapper Defeats Badge at +1x8 with about 5 or 6 repeats. Nice having them outside where they were easy to spot instead of hiding around a corner or hovering above a door. ( Is that what you meant, @Techwright, as far as farming Safeguards? )

You are correct @Burk, the Wiki shows it in 20-24, didn't think to look in a different mission range, thanks.

The Wiki lists this badge as being awarded for completing " The Lords of Death " Arc from Eagle Eye, which I am pretty sure I did because I have the Deadlock badge " You should see the other Guy " which is the last mission Eagle Eye gives out, but no " Skull Buster " Badge. The Wiki shows that the Arc is supposed to be available thru Ouroborus but unless it is listed under a different name, I don't see it there. Has the Badge been removed? It is still shown in the Pop Menu and the Wiki, not sure what's up with that.

Just thought I would document these 2 Badges to which there is no reference in the Wiki. The first is for 500 Naterlings or Bull Naterlings Defeated, either one counts. The second is for 500 Points of Brutes Defeated, Brutes and Noble Brutes are 1 point each, Honored Brutes are 5 points each. In the same way, the Visionary Badge is earned by Defeating 500 points of Rularru Watchers, Watchers and Observers are 1 point each, Overseers are 5 points each. Still working on that one..... Now Done. At 1234 Badges, I have done no iTrials or Villain content yet, have done all the Exploration Badges though, haven't decided if I want to do missions Redside, just doesn't feel like it fits, where exploring enemy territory makes sense for a Marine. Casual player, but who knows, if I can find a way to make it fit his character maybe. Never going to make 1600 anyway, just spent 2 days trying to get my first Ski Slope Badge and failed, It was worse than the many previous attempts, I think I've given up on those.

Under Menu / Options there are a bunch of settings you can adjust. If Ultra Mode is enabled I would disable it and move most of the detail and effects sliders to a lower setting until you find a level that allows normal gameplay. You can always tinker with these later but need to find something the Processor can handle. Shadows and ambient Occlusion can be taxing as well.

I have always enjoyed the First Ward/Night Ward Arcs and feel it is almost a Fourth Side to the game, Call it say, Gray Side. There is a noticeable difference in both Mission Design and Story Quality, which was reflected in almost all the later additions to the game. Although I have only played 2 Praetorians so far, I almost always work those zones into the leveling path of my characters. All the content ( Arcs anyway ) is available thru Ouroboros for those that don't do the Arcs when in level range. I personally think that, as has been said a thousand times, many people come to Homecoming fresh, thinking they have to get leveled up for Endgame Content, which is not necessarily the best the game has to offer. Raising the level where these Contacts could be active would not be something I would be apposed to considering our limited amount of quality level 50+ mission content. I know that the iTrials are there, but I believe more content that can be soloed or done on small teams organically at 50 would be beneficial especially on the smaller population shards.

Well the only person who would really fit the role perfectly would be Mender Silos. Granted, his history and motives are suspect to say the least, but he exists outside of space and time and has made his role to observe every detail of existence, including his own, and intervene only when he must to insure that humanity survives, at least I think that is his motive.........

Are you able to hover over the bottom edge of the window till you get the double arrows then stretch the window by pressing your left mouse button and pulling down?

I was a Paragon Chat diehard and saw Codewalkers post regarding " The elephant in the Room " , it wasn't long after that I was back.

Plus, just to clarify, keep in mind that although you may have the Badges for Posi 1 and Posi 2, if you got them before the new badge was introduced they will not count towards Epidemiologist. You will need a new defeat of Doc Buzzsaw and Dr. Vahzilok for the badge progress to count it. ( This was the case for me ).

Been trying to get the word out that Donations are still open but chat is so busy that it's buried in no time.

Check out the thread below, some opted to replace the Card to fix issues but several on page 2 found replacing the Thermal Paste corrected it, read on....and good hunting. Resolved - Fan 1 Sudden High RPM at 80C - RTX 2080 Ti XC - EVGA Forums

Something else to check... fonts - Text has turned to boxes in Ubuntu 16.04 - Ask Ubuntu

Found the issue, after the security guards are all defeated, there is a File cabinet that needs to be searched in the office with cubicles. not listed in the objectives so was not looking for it. The door with Bars in the shop area along the wall is the secret base entrance and will then open, not the one behind a counter or the vault door, Whew, glad that is done.

Unable to enter Secret Base door even after defeating all the Security Guards, Am I missing something? Logged off, reran it, same issue.

Unlike a lot of newer games, which use DirectX, COH requires OpenGL, without that the game cannot run, has it been installed? Just a thought since you said it was a newer Laptop, which more than likely does not have OpenGL installed unless he did it.

If he didn't make it into the city, he won't have a character to log into, they have to make it to Atlas Park, Mercy Island or Praetoria or they aren't saved for the game to load them. Just select an available slot and create/recreate a character, then name it, then proceed to enter the city.

I was running the Dirge of Chaos Arc from Mercedes Sheldon ( 20-24 ) solo through Flashback today. When I got to the end of the last mission and had escorted Amanda Gates to the exit, suddenly the screen switched to loading the zone and I was outside. No text as far as mission complete, no reward merits text ( had never ran this arc before ) and I was no longer in Flashback/TF Mode. I was running with "no Enhancements" for the badge, which I received, and the Pillar shows the Arc in Gold which means I have completed it now. No idea if I got the merits or completion bonus. Since you can log out and resume in this situation normally I have no idea what happened. Glad I at least got the badge, the Dirge of Chaos and Chaos Ghosts at the end were a handful with no enhancements, and I really am not interested in doing that again anytime soon.

It will always be in the lower right, if there is a way to relocate it, it isn't included in the instructions.

Try this to check your connection. Allows the user to turn on and off a network monitor, or graph. This graph will overlay on top of any other windows, and will always be in the lower right hand corner. /netgraph by itself will return the current net_graph setting. /netgraph 0 will hide the netgraph. /netgraph 1 will display the netgraph /netgraph #, where # > 1, will display a much taller version of the netgraph. On the netgraph: Green bars represent received packets, with the height of the bar representing server ping time in milliseconds Yellow bars represent retransmitted packets. Red bars represent dropped packets. Above the graph, the command also displays the number of duplicated incoming packets, retransmitted packets and lost packets, as well as the current server ping in millisconds

Found this, hope it helps.

Hey @Solarverse, Noticed Something in Issue 27: Page 6 notes.... Sound System: Added /loudstacking slash command to optionally enable old eardrum-busting sound stacking. There you go!

@lemming, If someone wishes to document these for the Wiki that would be great, let me know when I can remove them from here to free space.
